Cyberpunk is a science fiction genre noted for its focus on "high tech and low life".[1] The name is a portmanteau of cybernetics and punk and was originally coined by Bruce Bethke as the title of his short story "Cyberpunk", published in 1983.[2] It features advanced science, such as information technology and cybernetics, coupled with a degree of breakdown or radical change in the social order.[3]

It is because the people in the book are using Gully to find "treasure" on the Nomad. It is also like a Cyberpunk because it is almost exactly like what the definition of Cyberpunk says. The book is very futuristic, with high tech equipment and life as a person is obsolete, because of all the technology and high tech equipment.
